enPalm's Life Line - Part 2http://www.technologyreview.com/news/405019/palms-life-line-part-2/
<p>Smartphones from Palm will use the Windows Mobile operating system. So is the company handing over its future to Microsoft?</p><p>Perhaps no company born in the pre-dot-com era has been through as many reincarnations as Palm. The company struck gold with the original Palm Pilot in 1996 and had captured 65 percent of the handheld market by 2000 – only to see its commanding lead slip away over the next few years to competitors like Handspring, Research in Motion (RIM), and Hewlett Packard (see <a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/InfoTech-Hardware/wtr_15973,294,p1.html">part one</a> of this article).</p>Thu, 08 Dec 2005 05:00:00 +0000http://www.technologyreview.com/news/405019/palms-life-line-part-2/Palm's Life Linehttp://www.technologyreview.com/news/405012/palms-life-line/
<p>What can Palm’s tumultuous history tell us about the future of the mobile device market?</p><p>Palm is nine years old, and for its first four years, it lived a charmed life. It created the market for personal digital assistants and dominated that market. Then things got interesting: Competition from hardware and software companies loosened Palm’s grip on the PDA, while at the same time the overall market for technology collapsed. Finally, the ascendance of the smartphone forced Palm to consider the possibility that its handhelds were destined to become a thing of the past.</p>Wed, 07 Dec 2005 05:00:00 +0000http://www.technologyreview.com/news/405012/palms-life-line/The Root of the Problemhttp://www.technologyreview.com/news/405011/the-root-of-the-problem/
<p>Sony BMG’s disastrous use of rootkit software has taught us a valuable lesson: we’re too trusting of commercial software.</p><p>Sony BMG Music Entertainment’s decision to include covert and potentially dangerous software on millions of its compact discs taught us two painfully important lessons: that people have placed too much faith in the safety of commercially distributed software and that the tools for protecting computers from malicious “rootkit” applications have been inadequate.<s> </s></p>Wed, 07 Dec 2005 05:00:00 +0000http://www.technologyreview.com/news/405011/the-root-of-the-problem/The Starving Actorhttp://www.technologyreview.com/article/404595/the-starving-actor/

<p>The U.S. Army is turning to new solar-powered materials and sensors to solve the problem of too-little energy for its high-tech soldiers.</p><p></p>Mon, 16 May 2005 04:00:00 +0000http://www.technologyreview.com/news/404091/mobile-army-requires-solar-soldiers/A Vision of Terrorhttp://www.technologyreview.com/news/404056/a-vision-of-terror/
<p>New visualization software tools give intelligence officers the ability to create special representations of digital communications. And that, they say, is helping track down terrorists.</p><p>Search engines may be more than adequate to comparison shop or to identify the capital of Moldova (its Chisinau) – but searching the electronic universe to find patterns indicating terrorist activity requires higher-caliber technology. </p>Tue, 10 May 2005 04:00:00 +0000http://www.technologyreview.com/news/404056/a-vision-of-terror/Crash Test Dummies No Morehttp://www.technologyreview.com/news/403984/crash-test-dummies-no-more/
<p>No more looking before a left-hand turn. Car makers are experimenting with technologies that will warn drivers about impending collisions, and in some cases, take action.</p><p>Automakers are developing next-generation electronic sensing systems that look for impending accidents and react to potential hazards, making the roads much safer for both drivers and pedestrians.</p>Thu, 28 Apr 2005 04:00:00 +0000http://www.technologyreview.com/news/403984/crash-test-dummies-no-more/Ocean Power Fights Current Thinkinghttp://www.technologyreview.com/news/403872/ocean-power-fights-current-thinking/
<p>Corporations are readying the launch pf commercial ventures to generate power using ocean waves.

<p>To paraphrase a wise science officer, the computing needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Scientists say new computing grids that put supercomputers in the hands of the masses could exponentially increase scientific discovery and spark new industries.</p><p>Computer scientists in three states – West Virginia, North Carolina, and Colorado – are each combining their technology resources into separate computer grids that will give researchers, universities, private companies and citizens access to powerful supercomputers.</p>Wed, 14 Jan 2004 05:00:00 +0000http://www.technologyreview.com/news/402403/grids-unleash-the-power-of-many/
